How Many Cheers for the Peace Pact
The Internationalists, the much-praised study of Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro, fails badly in its estimate of the Kellogg-Briand Pact (the Peace Pact of 1928) and its larger characterization of the “Old World Order” and the “New World Order.” The authors unfairly excoriate Grotius as having “made the world safe for war,” and they mischaracterize the law of neutrality and the status of jus in bello in traditional international law. They misread…
Sönke Kunkel. Empire of Pictures: Global Media and the 1960s Remaking of American Foreign Policy. John A. Thompson. A Sense of Power: The Roots of America’s Global Role
American foreign policy was built on the ruins of a world order that collapsed into two titanic world wars. The decisive moment of transition occurred in the 1940s, when the U.S. entered the war against Japan and Germany and then, in the war’s aftermath, girded for battle against the Soviet Union and communism. The conventional rendering of this epochal change in policy, so different in its essentials from what preceded it, emphasizes that Americ…
American diplomatic history and international thought: A Constitutional Perspective
This essay offers a constitutional perspective on the American encounter with the problem of international order. Its point of departure is the American Founding, a subject often invisible in both the history of international thought and contemporary International Relations theory. Although usually considered as an incident within the domestic politics of the United States, the Founding displays many key ideas that have subsequently played a vita…
International Peace: One Hundred Years On
The bequest for the Church Peace Union—the predecessor of today's Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs (and the publisher of this journal)—was given by Andrew Carnegie in February 1914. The Church Peace Union subsequently sponsored the first worldwide gathering of religious leaders, which was held in Constance, Germany, on August 2, 1914. Convened under the shadow of an impending war, not all delegates made it to the gathering. Si…
Preemption, Unilateralism, and Hegemony: The American Tradition
Revisions in need of revising: What went wrong in the Iraq war
Though critics have made a number of telling points against the Bush admin-istration's conduct of the Iraq war, the most serious problems facing Iraq and its American occupiers – criminal anarchy and lawlessness, a raging insurgency and a society divided into rival and antagonistic groups – were virtually inevitable consequences that flowed from the act of war itself. Military and civilian planners were culpable in failing to plan for certain tas…
The Flip Side of the Record: The Commitment to Law Is Key to U.S. Legitimacy
Independence and Union
The Sources of American Legitimacy
THE 18 MONTHS since the launching of the second Iraq war have brought home, even to its advocates, that the United States has a serious legitimacy problem. The pattern of the first Iraq war, in which an overwhelming victory set aside the reservations of most skeptics, has failed to emerge in the aftermath of the second. If anything, skepticism has deepened. The United States' approval ratings have plunged, especially in Europe-the cooperation of …

A Half Penny on the Federal Dollar: The Future of Development Aid
Spending on U.S. foreign affairs, which constitutes only about one percent of the federal budget, is being sharply reduced. Under the President's 1996 budget plan, it will decline by just as great a percentage as defense between 1990 and 2002and by substantially more than defense over the 1980-2002 period. No other major category of federal spending will undergo a real cut over either time period. The shrinking budget, totaling about $19 billion …

In the Shadow of War: The United States since the 1930s
We stand at the end of a violent century, much of it embroiled in some form of war.Living under this "shadow of war" resulted in the "militarization" of American society, according to historian Michael S. Sherry.Evidence of militarization--"the process by which war and national security became consuming anxieties and provided the memories, models, and metaphors that shaped broad areas of national life" (p.xi)--is compelling.This rather disturbing…

The Constitution and the Conduct of American Foreign Policy
In this provocative and readable volume, eleven leading constitutional authorities challenge business as usual in American foreign policymaking. For far too long, they contend, Americans have acquiesced to presidential claims to sweeping executive powers in foreign affairs thanks to imperial-minded presidents, a weak-willed Congress, and neglectful scholars. These authors forcefully argue that the president is not the supreme crafter of foreign p…

In Defense of Realism: A Commentary on Just and Unjust Wars
A significant portion of Walzer's Just and Unjust Wars is an argument “against realism.” While Hendrickson applauds Walzer for his examination of the just war tradition, he nevertheless asserts that Walzer has characterized the tradition of political realism in a misleading way. Not simply the moral atheism it is portrayed to be, realism recognizes the moral reality of war while emphasizing state security and independence as the most important fa…

The Ethics of Collective Security
This article is based upon Rousseau's vision of interdependence being a habitual source of conflict among nations. Today's version of collective security, in contrast to Woodrow Wilson's advocation of exclusive use of political and economic sanctions, often demands military action. Collective security offers inherent contradictions: Does multilateral action, for example, usually led by the United States, indicate international accord on counterin…
